Managing the Platform: Higher Education and the Logic of Wikinomics (EDUCAUSE Review) |... - 0 views

shared by Melissa Pietricola on 15 Jun 10 - Cached
  • Wikipedia and other social networking sites provide a space or platform upon which all kinds of activities can flourish, with the idea of a platform transcending any particular technology or application and referring to either virtual or physical worlds. Collaboration among many users upon such a platform often produces unplanned and emergent
  • results—results frequently unattainable in a command-and-control management setting
  • the logic of commons-based peer production, and the logic of platform management transform the idea of the university and the very activities—teaching and learning, research, and publishing—that lie at the heart of this enterprise
  • ...12 more annotations...
  • But at its heart, the university was born to provide a structure to govern the student-teacher relationship.
  • development of Wikiversity (http://en.wikiversity.org/wiki/Wikiversity:Main_Page), an initiative from the Wikimedia Foundation
  • materials are produced by Wikiversity participants, who are, like their counterparts in Wikipedia, motivated volunteers. In addition, the Wikiversity course materials, unlike those made available by MIT, are editable by users
  • . Instead, students are invited to work together, to engage in discussion, to solve problems, and to otherwise “construct their knowledge.”
  • Put another way, the role of the teacher in a constructivist setting is like being a “procedural author,” as defined by Janet Murray when discussing virtual reality spaces.9
  • transformed into a kind of platform where students were invited to explore/create/construct knowledge. Peer production is very much a part of the constructivist classroom setting.
  • are more theme-parks than sandboxes,” meaning that learning is made as uniform and as controlled as possible (under the name of “standardization” and “outcomes-based” assessments).

      This is a great analogy-we have our kids waiting in line to have them produce cookie-cutter results..
  • In contrast, a sandbox conjures up images of unstructured, unplanned, emergent play that is determined by the players. Imagine a university organized and managed like a sandbox, where teachers and students are invited to play and create in an unstructured environment—or, rather, in an environment structured by their own actions, choices, and decisions.
  • Concerns would surely be raised about the quality of these credentials, similar to the debates about the quality of the articles in Wikipedia
  • To what degree will such informal learning and “credentialing by reputation” be legitimated and accepted by society?
  • emerge from the decisions, the edits, the additions, and the deletions of a number of people, all bound by the rules and protocols of Wikipedia
  • The wiki-ized university will probably not displace the traditional university but will likely exist alongside it, albeit in direct competition.

Implementing Technology in Education: Recent Findings from Research and Evaluation Studies - 0 views

www.wested.org/...recapproach.html technology
shared by Sue Rappazzo on 16 Aug 10 - Cached
  • A study of the initial implementation of California's state funded technology programs found that technology was not becoming institutionalized because it was often treated as a separate component within the state's education infrastructure. It was initially funded as an "add- on" rather than being integrated into the curriculum and incorporated into the mainstream of instructional programs.
  • In summary, systematic planning as an approach to technology implementation provides: a rationale for the technology and related resources the stakeholders get involved in the decision making process a way to promote thinking about the most cost-effective uses of technology assurance that technology applications are aligned with the curriculum help in determining the specific training and assistance needs assurance that existing resources are used in the plan a needed vehicle for procuring funding a method for determining how to evaluate the impact and progress of the technology a vehicle for communicating steps for others to follow adapting the plan a process for coordination with other programs and projects that the teaching addresses the needs of all learners guidelines and a context for the insertion of new technologies software developers with a definition of the technological needs of users
  • Curricula must drive technology; technology should not dictate curricula.

My New Adventure in Online Teaching - 1 views

  • I also was reminded that in many cases, our students technical skills often far surpass our own and that our course development and approach to online teaching should be informed by that fact.

      how do you come to this conclusion? is it supported in the SLN demographic data? are you sure this it true? do you buy into the digital native vs. immigrant assertion?
  • I already recognize that this will require me to sacrifice spontaneity and creativity at times but I think on balance it is the right way to go.
  • online teaching requires me to do something I hate - completely rethink my approach.

  • theory is easy and practical application is a lot of blood, sweat, and tears. 
  • I’ve constantly considered and reconsidered the importance of my role as the teacher as I’ve laid out Module after Module.
  • I am still not entirely sold on the need to have the entire course completed ahead of time – though who am I to argue with the experts?

      hey bill. our research findings support this assertion and i want you to know that there is a positive and significant correlation between the percentage of course completed prior to the first day of the course and student (and faculty) satisfation and reported learning. Seems like building the airplane whilst in flight is not a good idea - the faculty experience is negatively impacted and the students also notice...
  • In other words, modifications can be done in a controlled setting. 
  • My emotions ran the spectrum from a little bit of anger at being asked to complete a task that I didn’t entirely think was realistic, to disappointment in myself that, even though I thought I had caught up, I obviously was still just treading water.  I’ve settled somewhere in the middle but regardless I decided to just put and shut up and make my way through the remainder of the course development process.
  • what I will take away from it is so much more than any all-nighter I might have put in.  I now feel confident to teach my own online courses and hope to begin implementing a hybrid online program in the 2010-2011 school year.   This class has given me that kind of confidence and I’m all the better for it.
